This is more like it

* A little late with this post, but it here goes:

If you've seen my last post, I spent Tuesday evening playing netball for the very first time. Well, my constant whining about not knowing what to do ultimately led me to a man named Pete. Pete was putting together a basketball team for a weekly tournament on Thursdays and invited me and Jen to join his team.
I don't think I need to type where I spent my Thursday evening. There was just one issue -- men couldn't play defense on me. They could swipe at the ball, but they couldn't touch and try to block my shot when I drove to the basket. It's something they call "social rules" for women.
If you've ever seen me play or played against me, you know how absurd this "social rule" is. Honestly, I was a little thrown off by the lack of contact. I especially didn't know what to do when my opponent started encouraging me on a putback. I thought they were going to stop the game when I actually fell trying to get the ball.
Despite the unorthodox rule, I enjoyed myself. Our team lost (I can't remember the score), but I'll definitely be back the following Thursday.
Maybe I can get them to change the social rule for me.
